SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 567,507, dated September 8, 1896. Application filed December 28, 1895. serial No. 578,678. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY E. RAYMOND, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Beverly, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stands for Soda-Tumbler Holders, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in stands for soda-tumbler holders on desks, counters, &c., and, although especially designed for such purpose, it may to equal advantage be used for holding in suspension goods or articles of other kind or nature as may be desired, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 represents a top plan view of the invention, showing the vase and vase-holder removed. Fig. 2 represents a central longitudinal section. Fig. 3 represents an enlarged cross-section on the line 3 3 shown in Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 represents a vertical sect-ion on the line 4 4 shown in Fig. 3.

Similar letters refer to similar parts wherever they occur on the ditterent parts of the drawings.

A represents the base, shelf, or desk to which the device is to be secured. To said base is secured, in a suitable manner, the up wardly-projecting stationary post B, which projects into the hollow tubular standard 0,-

as shown in Fig. 2. Said hollow standard is journaled on said post B, so that it may be rotated around the latter as may be desired.

In the upper end of the tubular standard 0 is preferably inserted a vase or flower-holder D, as shown in Fig. 2. v

To the hollow tubular standard B are adj ustably secured in a suitable manner a series of collars or bracket-supporting flanges E E E, as shown. Said flanges E are each provided with a series of vertical perforations e e e, in which the shanks f f f of the arms or brackets F F F are journaled, as shown. The lower 5 projecting end of each shank f is screwthreaded and onto it is screwed a nut G, having an eye or ring g at its lower end,-from which goods or articles may be suspended.

The outer ends of the pivoted arms or brackets F are provided with hooks H, from which the soda-tumbler holders I or other articles may be suspended, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. From the above it will be seen that the bracket-supporting flanges E may be adjusted up or down on the hollow stand ard O, as well as around the latter, to insure the required positions to properly exhibit or support the goods or articles suspended from the arms F. The said arms F being pivoted in the flanges E may be swung sidewise more or less as may be desired, and the standard 0 and its connections may freely be rotated around the stationary post B, thus insuring a ready adjustment of the various parts to suit requirements.

Having thus fully described the nature, construction, and operation of my invention, I wish to secure by Letters Patent and claim- A stand for displaying or suspending goods and other articles, consisting of an upright, stationary post, a tubular standard the lower end of which receives said post, a plurality of collars vertically adjustable on said standard, curved arms having shanks which enter vertical openings in said collars,and nuts screwed upon the lower threaded ends of said shanks and provided with eyes, or rings, the curved arms having suitable hooks, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my Witnesses:
